Knife and Fork - Hands – whatever, who cares – shut up, get a life and it the freakin Pizza whichever way you like and stop moaning and bitching about idiots. What has a pizza to do with being gay? This thread is just retarded! ---

This thread is just retarded! I was bitching aboutt idiots who were indirectly insulting me because of the way I eat pizza. I agree. Pizza shplould be eaten the way the person wants to. I never said it was wrong to eat pizza with your hands, but I was pissed about the idiots that were bashing people who eat pizza with their hands. ---

This is the stupid part. (OK, the whole thing’s stupid and boring, but this is the _really_ stupid part.) Apparently nobody IRL was giving you flak about this, but you decided to give strangers on the Internet a chance to judge you about it. And then you get all surprised and insulted, and Pit them when they aren’t all nice to you. You might as well have stuck a ‘kick me’ sign on your own back. Just stop asking people over the Internet whether it’s OK to do stuff like this. ---

And the way that word is tossed around is irritating as well. Tossed _and_ up your ass? Neither makes you gay, but I’m no longer so sure you’re a 14 or 15 year old kid.

Maybe it’s the _way_ you’re eating the pizza with your knife and fork. Are you being all prim and proper about it? Cutting it up into little bite-sized pieces with a nancy look on your face and dabbing your pouty mouth a couple of times with your napkin? If so, that could be it. If not, then I got nuttin’. ---

I actually went back and read the OP of this rant. You are right; it appears that no one was giving our little friend so much as a stink eye about how he was eating his pizza. He went off to search up “eating pizza with fork and knife” ( I seriously cannot imagine why anyone would feel impelled to do such a thing) and generated some umbrage that people he doesn’t know, and who have never seen him eat, have written stupid things about how to eat pizza. I hesitate to think wha the might find on the internet when he becomes sexually active and Googles his preferred activities. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > Ah yes, the Hipster Douchebag Gambit. While I may or may not be a douchebag, I surely am not a hipster: wrong nationality, country, age, disposition, etc. Rename that thing you serve in the US to something else (it has its own merits, but it isn’t pizza). I am mostly joking, you should see what _we_ do to pasta. But really, I hate the carb onslaught of thick-crusted pizza, give me a super-thin crust, wood-oven baked pizza any day. Luckily I have such place not far from where I live. Best thing after a pizza in a Neapolitan restaurant. ---

Well, it was actual Italians who came here, made stuff and taught us to call it “pizza.” And at this point, given the diversity of styles of pizza available in the United States – not a small amount of it exactly what you’d get in Rome or Naples – I’m quite comfortable claiming “pizza” as an American word with which we can do what we want. Sure, we have plenty of crappy pizza too, but that’s a natural side effect. Hell, in Paris, pizza was probably the third or fourth most common type of food I saw being served, after crepes, sandwiches, and pastries. Italy long ago lost control of that particular culinary category.
